Mod Was Delisted
Hello I recently made a vanilla ship Mod, but it was Delisted.

I thought we were allowed to modify vanilla models and release them to the community.
I mentioned they were vanilla models in the mod.

May I Know why it was delisted, and if I can re list it if i follow guidelines that i did not know of?

I had a mod removed once and it was the result of something written in the description.
Thanks Novu,
I doubt it was a description issue though,
it was a very short description, and the mod was some Vanilla Ships for 1900's with modified values.
Only reason I care is because it had many downloads and I felt bad for the subscribers.

I was Just hoping to know why it was delisted or if there is a link to guidelines so i can know what I did wrong.

This is what it says on the top of the mod page.

This item has been removed from the community because it violates Steam Community & Content Guidelines. It is only visible to you. If you believe your item has been removed by mistake, please contact Steam Support.

I am just unsure of what I did wrong, as I was under the influence I was allowed to modify vanilla ships/vehicles.

as I have seen other mod makers do the same thing.
as the description of the mod was minimal, i am sure it was not an issue there.
Maybe it was the name of the ships? the huge ships were called "Comrade Commi" maybe someone found it offensive?

I dont want to rant, But somone should have notified me that it might be offensive.
so i Could change the names of the ships.

It seems like a waste making me remake a mod for a some minor naming issue.

It just seems like a joke?
like calling a ship by its manufactured country's ideology at the time seems like a normal thing.
(Tons of historical example)

Commie is probably on an offensive word list and it got picked up by the auto-moderater. Should change the name and then appeal through support.

I will change the name and just remake/ copy and paste the mod, save the support time.

I did not realise some people may find that word offensive, i it was just a short word for an ideology.

Your probably right thanks Again. In a democratic and free word we should not be censoring words.
but they are right I suppose.
My mistake , in my country that word is thrown around all the time, and i did not realise it could be offensive.

I apologise for my mistake.
Ok what did i do this time? It was just a vanilla ship mod modified? why was it delisted, I dont understand, now your banning me from posting content for a couple days?
when does it end?

You could at least be polite and tell me what is wrong and what violation it has?
Instead of acting in the shadows?
People were enjoying that mod as far as I was concerned, everything was renamed.

You should submit a ticket to support.
I did they told me to deal with the game dev's

Look i redid the mod, and remade it, changed the names, and it was Deleted again,

I dont really know how to contact dev's as I assume they have seen this already.
And I really did not mean to offend anyone with the name of the ships.

I think they just deleted the new mod without reviewing it, or its diffrences.

The thing that gets me, is that now i cant update or post new content for a few days.

Which is like a slap to the face, or a warning to be escalated into a perm ban.

If I made a mistake over something it should be put int the light, so I can make it right.

I don't think it's the name, even the great Mauser_NATO is known to put in anti-Communist messages on his texture files. It is only the furry backlash that did him in.

Sending an email at sovietrepublic.net/support is a great way to connect with the devs.

If it grossly breaks the game, Peter himself will comment on your workshop item.

Yes, Thank you Whitek3t.

I tested it throughly it is just vanilla ships with modified Values, It was deleted twice,
it also was not an anti communist message, more a satire name for ships.

The ships were named "Comrade Commie Co"

And in the second release i renamed them "Voldemorte" or "He who shall not be named"
after harry potter lol

Anyways I hope to resolve the issue, as there seems there are not enough 1900's/early ships available.

I had 84 subscribers before it was deleted so I am a little disappointed for the community.

You could also contact one of the officers. MrKrabs and SilentShadow.

And that's the reason. Some people believe that any name can be used anywhere, but Voldemort belongs to the Harry Potter universe and is legally protected. You should find out in advance what is permitted.

I dont even want to release it anymore, after 2 Deletes and 1 ban, it seems my care for sharing has run thin.
Well, but the mistake is entirely yours. Copyright and all that....
